The walking dragon son

While Ciel was solving the Book of Zeref demon, others were also solving their opponents one after another.

The buzzer sounded, and Pumpkinhead, as the referee, passionately announced the result of the game.

Ciel and the other four people stood together and enjoyed the cheers of the audience. Unfortunately, the kingdom did not arrange a trophy or anything, which lacked a sense of ceremony.

The first Great Magic Fighting Exercise is over, but everyone decided to stay for one more day.

Because tomorrow is July 7th, the kingdom will hold a grand celebration. And the name of this celebration is Dragon King Festival!

Charles didn't know what was so special about July 7th. Acnologia completely transformed into a black dragon and became the Dragon King on this day, so this day is called the Dragon King Festival.

It was also July 7th when Ciel and Natsu were sent four hundred years later. There should be a reason why the Eclipse Gate is activated on this day.

But before the celebration, Fairy Tail had its own banquet to celebrate winning the championship.

Ciel didn't follow the others' mischief. He sat aside and thought about his next trip.

The appearance of Zeref's demon made Ciel think that he could make some preparations for what would happen in the future now.

Yes, Ciel is talking about the Gate of Hades.

If we talk about the well-known villains in the kingdom, then there is only the Balam Alliance composed of most of the dark guilds.

The core of this alliance is the three dark guilds, and the Gate of Hades, composed of the demons from the Book of Zeref, is the core of the core.

Speaking of which, Fairy Tail is worthy of being the protagonist. The Balam Alliance, which was supposed to be dealt with by the Council, an official organization representing all guilds, and the three core dark guilds, were all defeated by Fairy Tail as the main force.

But the future battle with the Gate of Hades really forced Ciel to face it with caution.

Because there were too many situations that occurred in that battle in the original plot, and it also affected too many people.

In order to turn the tide of the war, Lucy sacrificed the key of Aquaria, the one with whom she had the deepest bond, to summon the Celestial Spirit King.

Gray and his father, who was reincarnated into a demon, had to fight to the death, and Juvia was forced to make a choice, ending Gray's father's life with her own hands.

The most important thing is that Zeref and Acnologia appeared one after another, and Fez, who can eliminate all magic power on the continent, also activated.

And then...the appearance of Igniru and the other dragons and...death!

That battle was undoubtedly Fairy Tail's victory, but there were too many sad tears in that victory.

At the same time, everyone also had to face the greater threat posed by Zeref. Seeing the pain that Gate of Hades had caused to his family, and thinking of the even more terrifying Zeref, it was not surprising that Makarov decided to disband the guild.

The most terrible thing is that as long as there are two factors, Natsu and the Goblin's heart, the war with the Gate of Hades and the subsequent Alvarez Empire is inevitable.

However, either one of these two is an existence that Fairy Tail cannot ignore. What Ciel can choose now is to prepare for war in advance.

Charles didn't believe that he could not change those tragedies even though he had prepared seven years in advance.

Of course that's what he said, but what to do specifically is what Ciel is worried about now.

To cope with war, there are only two ways to strengthen oneself and weaken the enemy. The Sirius group hasn't come back yet, so there isn't much he can do to strengthen himself.

However, it is somewhat feasible to weaken the Gate of Hades. After all, they have an intelligence advantage against them.

But the difficulty is how to find the demons from the Book of Zeref.

You must know that the Gate of Hades is the core of the Balam Alliance, and the Council wants to get rid of them more than anyone else.

Although the Council has always been very arrogant, even Ciel has to admit that the Council is the most powerful organization in this continent.

Their intelligence capabilities have not affected the Gate of Hades so far, which shows how well they hide it.

This group of demons is different from monsters like Deliora who only have the desire for destruction. In order to realize their long-cherished wish to return to Zeref, they do things very rigorously and thoughtfully.

Ciel sighed, he didn't have time to play hide and seek with those demons. If only someone could solve this problem for me.

Just when Ciel was thinking this, he suddenly felt a familiar magic power.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Charles said something to Stella on the side and left the hotel.

In the darkness, Ciel locked the direction and chased after him. On the hillside opposite the Hua Lantern Palace, Ciel saw three men in cloaks.

Stopping opposite the three of them, Charles said: "We are all so familiar, so there is no need to hide!"

When the three of them heard this, they all took off the hoods of their cloaks. The leader was Jellal, who voluntarily followed the Council after the Six Demon Generals' crusade.

Behind him are Urrutia and his little follower Melty.

Ciel looked at Urrutia and said: "I've heard you say that you want to form a guild, but you, a member of the guild, are really hard to explain!"

Needless to say, Urrutia and Melty are former high-ranking cadres of the Devil's Heart. Jellal is a major criminal who destroyed the Council and attempted to "resurrection" Zeref.

The wrong thing Jellal did was because he was deceived by Urrutia, and now Urrutia dragged him into his guild. For this reason, Urrutia even destroyed the prison of the Council. Think about it They all feel that fate is really wonderful.

And speaking of this... Ciel had complained about the council's crotch before. It seems that in the entire plot, apart from targeting Fairy Tail, the council did not pay attention to those magic weapons that represent big trouble. It did not play any positive role at all. effect.

Even he has been destroyed several times, and even taken advantage of by villains such as Jellal and Brian.

It's normal for them not to be able to live in their own prison. Anyway, those really dangerous guys Ciel will definitely not be handed over to the council.

Urrutia also spread his hands and said: "There is no way, our witch crime was established for the purpose of atonement, and there are not many people who meet the standards!"

Charles said: "So what happened when you came to Crocas?"

Jellal said: "We originally planned to watch the excitement this time, but we discovered that the Great Demon Dou Yanwu may have other hidden things. So I want to ask you, who has experienced it."

Ciel also understood why they lured him out. Seven years later, they were the first to have doubts about Da Mo Dou's martial arts, so they asked Fairy Tail to assist in the investigation.

So Ciel told the three people about the kingdom's eclipse plan. Of course, Ciel didn't mention a word about Lucy's two time travels in the future and the blackening of future Rogge, which didn't even have a shadow.

It took the three of them a lot of effort to completely sort out their clues. Melty said, "So isn't the Kingdom's solar eclipse plan a good one?"

The goal of the establishment of Witch's Sin is to eliminate all dark guilds and all sins caused by Zeref.

The kingdom's eclipse plan sounded like their purpose, so Melty didn't understand why Ciel looked disapproving when talking about it.

But neither Jellal nor Urrutia, who was more mature, expressed their attitude.

Charles explained to her: "Anyone who tries to play with time will be played by time. Time is not something that is easy to control.

To put it simply, if their plan can really succeed, then Zeref should not exist in our current world.

Instead of hoping to change the past, what we should do is to open up the future! "

Having said this, Ciel's eyes lit up and he said, "By the way, you have been investigating the Dark Guild. I wonder if there is any information about the Gate of Hades."

Ciel suddenly thought that the Witch's Sin was the helper he wanted most! Regardless of motivation or ability, they are definitely the most suitable.

I don't know why, but seeing Ciel like this, Urrutia suddenly had the urge to hang him on a lamppost.

But after Ciel expressed his thoughts, before Urrutia could say anything, Jellal took over the task of exploring the Gate of Hades.

Sighing and comforting himself with the reason "this is what I wanted to do", Urrutia said: "We have completed the task, you don't plan to enjoy your life leisurely next!"

Charles smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Of course I have my own plans. Next I plan to go to Kiltina. There are some things that need to be investigated."
